President-elect Barack Obama filled out several key energy and environmental positions for his transition team Friday while also staffing up a few select White House jobs. Obama named more than a dozen people to craft policy positions and monitor the Bush administration's efforts at U.S. EPA and the Agriculture, Energy, Interior and Transportation departments, with former Clinton Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes in the overall lead of the transition's energy and natural resources team.
